Research
Dr. Hill is currently actively pursuing multiple NIH-funded research directions. First, her NIH-funded research utilizes quasi-experimental methods to study the impacts of shale gas development on human health in the US. Through support from a DP5 award, Dr. Hill's team has studied the impacts of shale gas development on childhood asthma, drinking water contamination, mortality and environmental justice concerns as well as the economic consequences of this industry via hedonic models. Second, Dr. Hill is PI of an NCI-funded R01 equivalent grant studying drug shortages in oncology care and Co-I with the University of Rochester NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Research Base which is directed by Drs. Gary Morrow and Karen Mustian. Third, she examines public policies and health system factors that influence the overdose crisis. Within this area, Dr. Hill is studying opioid-related mortality, opioid use during pregnancy, and access to treatment. Her NIDA U01 grant (MPI Meredith Adams) provides five years of funding to study how the COVID-19 Pandemic exacerbated the opioid crisis with a particular focus on policies and economic factors. Fourth, Dr. Hill's team is funded as part of the HEAL Initiative (PI Adams) to provide documentation and best practices on the use of Medicaid and Medicare claims for use in OUD and pain research. Fifth, Dr. Hill is co-lead of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) Pregnancy Domain Team, member of the Pain N3C Domain Team, and site-PI/Co-I of the RECOVER project to uncover risk factors for long COVID using N3C data. Finally, Dr. Hill has received a NIA pilot to develop methods for identifying pregnancy in Medicaid claims, describe disparities in maternal mortality during the Pandemic, and to understand how continuous coverage in Medicaid may have protected postpartum women from adverse outcomes.
Other research projects include: understanding how hazardous waste clean-ups impact housing valuation and infant health, estimating the causal effect of wildfire smoke exposure on risk of fatal and nonfatal overdoses, and studying the impact of shale gas development exposure during pregnancy on education outcomes. Dr. Hill is also pursuing funding to expand her research into Medicaid payment policies for children, pregnant and postpartum women, people with OUD, people living with disabilities, and low-income childless Americans during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Dr. Hill is a recipient of the NIH Director's Early Independence Award. She is also affiliated with Wilmot Cancer Institute, the Goergen Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, the Environmental Health Sciences Center, the Institute for Human Health and the Environment, the UR Aging Institute, and the Center for Community Health & Prevention, and maintains courtesy faculty positions at external institutions. Dr. Hill received her BA in Economics and Mathematics at Oberlin College in 2005 and her PhD in Applied Economics from Cornell University in 2014.
